The reason why Yu Panxi didn't want Xiao Chumo to get involved in this matter was just that he felt that Xiao Chumo's current strength was still a little weak.

Sooner or later, they and Mo Baozhou will have to stand on the opposite side, of course, the stronger the strength, the better, so it is not advisable to go against Mo Baozhou too early, it is best to hibernate and wait until the strength can compete with it.

Of course, these words, Yu Panxi will not be Xiao Chumo said.

Although Xiao Chumo felt unwilling, he was a loyal and brave person, and his mind was more about hoping that Sheji could be revitalized, rather than thinking about confronting Mo Baozhou or even overthrowing him.

According to Mo Baozhou's nature, although Xiao Chumo should soon be able to realize that he is hopeless, it is still too early to say this.

The Shuiyun Palace incident will eventually brew into a trigger that will detonate the entire country.

The next morning, a group of courtiers really signed a joint letter, asking Mo Baozhou not to build a large number of buildings when the treasury was empty, except for a few old ministers, the rest of the people did not say much, mostly snooped on each other, and did not want to come out on their own.

In the face of the persuasion of several old ministers, Mo Baozhou was not at ease at all, and only said: "The construction of the palace was decided by the emperor in the early years, and now several years have passed. ”

With such a name cut down, several old ministers were a little caught off guard, and could only continue to talk about the emptiness of the treasury.

Mo Baozhou said that he would use his private property to fill the vacancy, and they didn't have to worry about it at all, let alone anything that would shake the country's foundation, which was simply their alarmism.

These words made several old ministers speechless, once they fell behind in this matter, they would have no chance, so Mo Baozhou simply decided this matter and put it on the agenda.

Xiao Chumo watched from the sidelines, and inevitably sighed in his heart, things were as he expected, the emperor was determined this time, and even if the courtiers died to admonish, I am afraid that it would have no effect.

Although the situation has not deteriorated, the construction of the project has become a foregone conclusion, and it is too late for him to say anything now.

After going to court, he told Yu Panxi about this matter.

Yu Panxi already knew about this result, and said: "I'm afraid things are not so simple, presumably they will still be entangled for a few days." But the situation is clear, and you don't want to do anything senseless. ”

Xiao Chumo just nodded in response, but did not explicitly agree, if the time was right, he still wanted to persuade the emperor.

Yu Panxi didn't think much about it, just thought he agreed.

This matter has been discussed for a month, and the ministers took turns to fight, but when they went up, Mo Baozhou either turned a blind eye to it, or directly dismissed it, and was annoyed tightly, so he simply didn't go to the early court every once in a while.

And the progress of the project is so fast that seeing that the wood has been completed, the ministers have no choice but to accept their fate and say nothing more.

Xiao Chumo could only shake his head and sigh, he wanted to say something before, but seeing that Mo Baozhou couldn't avoid it in the early dynasty, the thoughts he gave birth to faded, and he understood that it was useless to say more.

The palace built by the palace, called Shuiyun Palace, is no different from the previous life.

The only thing that made Xiao Chumo feel relieved was that when building Shuiyun Palace, Mo Baozhou did not recruit conscription, but in order to reduce the cost, he used all the death row prisoners in the prison.

From the beginning of construction, death row prisoners from all over the country were sent to Beijing, and then to the construction site of Shuiyun Palace.

Overall, it's a good thing.

But Yu Panxi was not optimistic, whenever Xiao Chumo mentioned this matter, although she didn't say anything, the expression on her face was full of sarcasm.

Sure enough, this situation only lasted for three months, and the autumn wind had just blown, and there was a problem with the construction of Suyundae.

The construction speed of Shuiyun Palace is too fast, the price is that those death row prisoners work almost day and night, almost every day people can't bear the exhaustion to death, two months, almost experienced a major blood change, in the third month, most of the death row prisoners died, and the manpower began to be insufficient.

Mo Baozhou began to urge various localities to ask for death row prisoners, and local officials, in order to make errands and curry favor with Mo Baozhou, sentenced those prisoners who were not originally sentenced to death.

In some remote places, officials relied on the emperor to arrest people directly on the streets, turning innocent people into death row prisoners and sending them to the capital.

Many people didn't have much time to come, and they died of exhaustion, and for a time the people were dissatisfied.

But Mo Baozhou didn't know how to restrain at all, so instead of stopping it, he urged death row prisoners more urgently, so more innocent people were unjustly imprisoned and sent to the cemetery of Shuiyun Palace.

How could these things be concealed from the ministers in the court, naturally they tried hard to persuade each other, but Mo Baozhou insisted on going his own way, and even took the official positions of the two old ministers in the court, forcing them to return to their hometowns.

As a result, almost all the ministers in the court and China were also cold.

The turmoil in the DPRK and China has also made the atmosphere in the capital tense and depressing, and almost all the official residences are closed, and even the small merchants and vendors on the street have noticed that the atmosphere is not right, and if it is not necessary, they will also close their stalls early and go home, and the streets are already empty before it is dark, and the shops are tightly closed.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Chumo couldn't help but be even more worried, and there was a faint bad premonition in his heart.

After returning home, he told Yu Panxi about this feeling.

Yu Panxi was not surprised when he heard this, and even felt that it was reasonable, "Although the emperor did not levy forced labor this time, he arrested some innocent people in various places under the guise of using death row prisoners, which is even more terrible than harsh government." The people have already complained, and in the long run, it will bring disaster. ”

Xiao Chumo couldn't help nodding, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, there will be war again." ”

Sure enough, after another month, a civil unrest broke out, and a large number of people who were forced to have no way out of life rose up to seek justice for themselves.

Mo Baozhou was not at ease, thinking that it was just a rabble composed of some Diao people, how could they compete with the imperial court, so he asked Xiao Chumo to lead the troops to suppress it.

Xiao Chumo finally couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, the people's resentment stems from the fact that local officials have arrested some innocent people as death row prisoners, as long as these officials are found to pretend to punish and give the people justice, they will disperse on their own." ”

But in the face of using innocent people as death row prisoners, Mo Baozhou had already made up his mind and would never admit it, so he looked puzzled about Xiao Chumo's persuasion: "The construction of Shuiyun Palace is all death row prisoners, where are the innocent people from?" These criminal departments have evidence, Xiao Aiqing, don't talk nonsense, this is slandering me! ”

Xiao Chumo immediately said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is only afraid that someone will fabricate evidence, and ask the emperor to investigate." ”

Mo Baozhou snorted coldly, "What are you talking about the local and criminal departments?" Or are you talking about me?! He continued: "You say that you are too laborious and costly, and the death row prisoners who are really used are really useful, and the death row prisoners sent from all over the country have files, and you say that they are all innocent people, do you really think that I am weak and easy to deceive?!" ”
